Child
Immunizations
Walk-in clinics are offered at the Health District
office each Thursday 9-11 a.m. and the first Thursday of each month from
1:30 - 6 p.m.. LCHD participates in
the Vaccines
for Children program to help ensure that all children have access to the
vaccines they need.
If you plan on bringing your child to clinic,
please bring a copy of their immunization records and the child's Medicaid
card, if they have one.
Childhood
Immunizations mandated
by the Ohio Department of Health are $10.00 per
vaccination. No child is turned
away due to inability to pay.
The
Logan County Health District uses a needle-free vaccine administration
system for children. The air-injection method has been found to be
safer and typically less painful for children.
Every
effort is made to give all vaccinations a child is eligible for at the time
of a single visit to help keep children up-to-date according to the recommended
immunization schedule. Administration of as many vaccines at
the same time as staffing will permit is also less traumatic for the child.
The
Health District seeks to comply with the Healthy People 2010 goal that 90%
of children will be completely immunized & up-to-date by the age of 3.
Call 592.9040 for more
information.

SIDS
SIDS stands for sudden infant death syndrome.
This term describes the sudden, unexplained death of an infant younger than
1 year of age. Some people call SIDS
"crib death" because many babies who die of SIDS are found in
their cribs. But, cribs don't cause SIDS. Click

who wish one. Call the
